Preparing for Thanksgiving

Hi buddies!   So its two weeks away from tonight that we will be sitting around in a food induced stupor, rubbing out bellies and thinking we will never eat again!

Or will we? 

I’m not gonna lie to ya, yes I probably will be one of those folks!  I am working like a mad fool right now to lose some extra weight so that I will have some wiggle room in my jeans!  No, I guess thats not the right way to be thinking since I just hit my goal but doggone it, I love Thanksgiving!!!!

I dont plan on going in and inhaling plate after plate of the good stuff but I do plan on enjoying and not regretting in the morning.  So far I have lost 3.2 pounds under goal and I would like to see that much more gone over the next two weeks.  So I am being vigilant about staying on program right now and will reward myself with some eggnog and my mom’s dressing on T-day.

What do you plan on doing?  Will you let Thanksgiving be your splurge day or do you plan on staying on track?  I am curious to hear what others are planning.

Its scary out there

I am on my first full week of maintenance, 2nd week since goal.  And its a struggle.  Its almost a feeling of, now what? 

I’m not really having any hunger/overeating issues, I am still playing around with points, etc.  But I feel like I have been in jail for the past 2 years and now I have been let out back into the world with no place to go and no job.  I feel very lost.

I was told this is normal but I dont like it.  I have found that WW’s is great for losing but not worth shit for maintaining.  I mean their instruction and such.  They need meetings just for lifetimers.  And alot more material. 

So what I have said all along about losing the weight is the easiest part, well its true.  Keeping it off will be the hardest.  I’ve just got to figure it all out.  Thank goodness I have a good leader who is willing to answer my panic ridden text messages and emails at any time of the day.

But dont get me wrong, I am very thankful to be where I am so dont think otherwise.  I’m just very scared.  Its so easy to gain, dont we all know that!?! 

Take care my buddies!
